Fitness Fridays: Starting Slow

For several years I sat on the couch. 

I was depressed.

I ate popcorn with half a stick of butter for comfort.

I gained nearly 20 pounds.

Now here I am at the highest weight ever 

and 

READY 

to 

BE 

the Change.

Last week I shared my ONE BIG GOAL for 2017.

It's to become a Runner (again!)

I invite you to read it.

To start on my Journey to health I was tested in November for food sensitivities.

What I found out is changing my life.

I am sensitive to wheat, rye, barley...which means NO bread, rolls, pastries, etc. etc.

Also NO dairy.

No cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, ice cream, etc.

I am soooo happy about this. 

Seriously.

I have been on this plan for three weeks as of today.

My energy is returning.

I feel like doing something!!!

I am getting more steps into my day.

I am waking up to work out.

This is gonna be GREAT.

And honestly it hasn't been that hard and I am not missing any of those foods.

Which, btw, I ate all the time.

Cheese was a daily food for me.

Each day I am remembering this....

It's only January 13th. 

I am doing this.

I haven't lost weight yet...

but this weight didn't come on overnight.

It gradually crept up on me...

and it's gonna gradually melt away.

This year my Word is Perseverance.

I 

WILL

Persevere.

I

WILL 

Run.

And I will keep coming back here every Friday to update you (and myself) on my progress.

Along the way I would LOVE to hear about YOU.

What BIG GOAL are you striving for this year.

How are you doing?
